About LEGO Boats

The Boats theme was a LEGO System theme that ran from 1982 to 1996 and consisted of 12 sets. Unlike most town sets, the sets in the Boats, also known as Floating Boats, really did float in water. Initiakky the boats were made from single piece hulls but later sets introduced multi-hulled boats. After 1996 boats became part of the LEGO City theme.
1987 LEGO Sets
1987 reshaped core worlds: Futuron and Blacktron established a new Space rivalry, and the Forestmen arrived in Castle with woodland hideouts and outlaw flair. Early computer-control experiments appeared in the Technic ecosystem, foreshadowing later programmable systems. Across the portfolio, factions and clearer narratives became a defining design focus.
